•
Access-Request
Sent by the Business Secure Router requesting authentication.
•
Access-Reject
Sent by a RADIUS server rejecting access.
•
Access-Accept
Sent by a RADIUS server allowing access.
•
Access-Challenge
Sent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow
access. The Business Secure Router sends a proper response from the user and
then sends another Access-Request message.
The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the Business
Secure Router and the RADIUS server for user accounting:
•
Accounting-Request
Sent by the Business Secure Router requesting accounting.
•
Accounting-Response
Sent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped
accounting.
In order to ensure network security, the Business Secure Router and the RADIUS
server use a shared secret key, which is a password they both know. The key is not
sent over the network. In addition to the shared key, password information
exchanged is also encrypted to protect the network from unauthorized access.
EAP Authentication overview
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs
on top of the IEEE 802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types
of user authentication. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-compatible
RADIUS server, the Business Secure Router helps a user’s computer and a
RADIUS server perform authentication.
The type of authentication you use depends on the RADIUS server or the AP.
